I am pleased to announce that Congressman Mark Meadows will become White House Chief of Staff. I have long known and worked with Mark, and the relationship is a very good one....

....I want to thank Acting Chief Mick Mulvaney for having served the Administration so well. He will become the United States Special Envoy for Northern Ireland. Thank you!

5. I guess we should be relieved he didn't appoint someone even worse,

like that FL idiot, Gaetz. Order more pizzas, order more gas masks!

6. Who, what, would want that job?

Ticket to a penitentary.

8. Shit, M & M's must be the candy of the month

How weird is that?

9. Is Mulvaney still in charge of OMB?

[2naSalit]

10. Well...

I can picture several things coming to pass in short order some may prompt others; He might start talking, he may end up in the river, he may slink into some slimey crack in the pavement to conduct further corruption. But he might end up getting Epsteined. I think too, that the Barr network was put into place to not only round up opposition but eliminate the "losers" who might someday talk.

13. The one who sort of looks like Sean Spicer if his head deflated?

With Hicks coming back, it’s like Trump’s trying to get the band back together ... or hold it together.

14. FROM one asshole to a bigger asshole - so is he resigning from the House?

18. Just a matter of time

after saying that we need more immigrants. There was something else that happened recently that eludes me now.

21. His admission at a presser that Trump pressured Ukraine, and his saying everyone should just

"Get over it"?

[Mme. Defarge]

24. Ah, here it is.

19. Mulvaney is now Envoy to Ireland!

You can't make this up.

Isn't Mark Meadows a conspiracy theorist?

22. Doubling down on incompetence

[MerryBlooms]

25. Aye, ol' Mick off to the Emerald Isle

Ireland reports first coronavirus community transmission, cases hit 13.

Rough seas ya evil fecker.

26. He must like Carolina Rs

from Mulvaney, who represented York County (Charlotte Metro) plus other SC counties to Meadows, who represents WNC and part of the Unifour including parts of Asheville.

27. So Meadows isn't retiring? I can't keep up! nt

30. Cheetolini's entire administration is full of "acting" directors

They come and go so fast it’s not worth the effort to actually appoint someone for real. I suppose some positions require congressional approval or something and Trump doesn’t want anyone to be vetted. It disclosed how little qualified they are. The only qualification Trump wants is blind loyalty (one way only) and...well that’s it really.
